2 The Bash on the Bridge The party was going strong and high. NYC Parks joined Comptroller Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Councilmembers Ydanis Rodríguez, Mark Levine and Vanessa L. Gibson, Assemblywoman Latoya Joyner, State Senator Adriano Espaillat and community members joined to kick off the first-ever High Bridge Festival this past Sat, July 25th. In collaboration with more than a dozen community groups, the festival celebrated the revival of the iconic High Bridge since its closure in After its grand reopening on June 9th, the High Bridge has again become one of the city s biggest attractions. The High Bridge reopened on June 9th. The High Bridge Festival included a public art installation, walking tours of the bridge, a Bridge Making Workshop presented by the Bronx Children s Museum, and live entertainment, including a performance by Jose Peña Suazo y La Banda Gorda. Opened in 1848, the High Bridge is the oldest standing bridge in New York City and was a part of the city s first water supply system. After being closed for more than four decades, Parks and Department of Design and Construction restored and improved the 1,450-foot-long, 123-foot high bridge. As the only interborough bridge designed exclusively for pedestrians and bicyclists, the restoration of the High Bridge provides communities of both Manhattan and the Bronx with access to more than 125 acres of green space with baseball fields, basketball courts, bike trails, a skatepark, playgrounds and lawns. The High Bridge restores a unique connection between two boroughs, providing communities with access to resources in both counties. Bronx residents are now able to walk directly to the Highbridge Pool and Recreation Center, while Manhattan residents will gain access to the Harlem River waterfront. The improved design will also allow pedestrians to enjoy new features including a hand-restored brick walkway, restored historic railing, new safety fence, barrier-free access, and new architectural lighting. After years of devotion, dedication and patience, Bronx and Manhattan community On a whirl. members can once again enjoy the historical beauty that is the High Bridge, said Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP. The symbolism here is that there is no longer a divide between the two boroughs, now there is open accessibility to all of the resources in this amazing space. The festival was supported by ZTE, FreshDirect, FlatRate Moving, Kung Fu Panda 3, EmblemHealth, and Columbia University Medical Center.

9 When closed doors are good for business Story and photos by Gregg McQueen As summertime temperatures rise, local store owners tend to crank up the air conditioning. But retailers that leave their doors open while running the AC are not only harming the environment, they re essentially throwing money down the drain. That s the message from the city s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), which has announced a major outreach effort to encourage businesses to shut the front door when the air conditioning is on. On Wed., July 22, more than 200 DCA volunteers visited 45 commercial corridors throughout the five boroughs to educate businesses about the harmful environmental and financial impact of keeping doors open while running air conditioning. The DCA s Shut the Front Door! campaign also includes a social media push with the hashtag #BeCoolSaveFuel, together with multilingual flyers, bus stop ads and stickers for businesses. It s not only good for the environment, it s also good for businesses, because they can save nearly $1,000 dollars on their summer electric bill by keeping their doors shut, explained DCA Commissioner Julie Menin. Every single business in New York City should know about this, and know what s at stake for the environment. As part of the campaign, the DCA is working with the City Council to strengthen the existing Local Law 38, which currently requires chain stores with five or more locations in New York City or retail businesses 4,000 square feet or larger to close the door when the air conditioning is on. As stores under 4,000 square feet are exempt from the law, many air-conditioned small businesses leave their doors open in the summertime, without fear of getting fined. We believe that every single store in New York City should be keeping their doors shut, said Menin. That s why we re working to remove the exemptions. The DCA has also stepped up its enforcement efforts. Since June, the agency has inspected nearly 900 businesses citywide, and handed out an increased number of fines. Under the current law, penalties for noncompliance are relatively modest $200 for a second violation, and $400 for subsequent offenses. For a first offense, businesses are issued a warning, but no monetary fine. Menin said that harsher penalties are part of the amendments currently being proposed to the City Council. It s not only good for the environment, it s also good for businesses, explained DCA Commissioner Julie Menin. By strengthening the law, it gives us the enforcement capability to make sure that this law has the teeth that it really needs, said Menin. But even without the fines, retailers who prop the door open are being hit in the pocket. The Long Island Power Authority has estimated that when city businesses leave their front door open with air conditioning on, those stores waste as much as 20 to 25 percent of their electricity. That costs some retailers up to $1000 in the summer season, according to Con Edison. Retailers who keep their doors open while blasting their air conditioners are wasting energy, boosting their electricity costs, risking the possibility of blackouts or brownouts on peak energy-demand days, and unnecessarily contributing to climate change, said Eric A. Goldstein, New York City Environment Director at the Natural Resources Defense Council. The DCA s Shut the Front Door! efforts are in concert with Mayor Bill de Blasio s environmental agenda, as the mayor has committed to reducing the city s carbon emissions 80 percent by the year Commercial buildings are responsible for 20 percent of New York City s greenhouse gas emissions each year, largely generated by heating and cooling systems.

11 Faith and Farewell Final church services were held on Sun., Jul. 26th at houses of worship ordered closed by the Archdiocese of New York. Fe y despedida Los servicios finales de la iglesia se celebraron el domingo 26 de julio en la casas de culto que la Arquidiócesis de Nueva York ordenó que fueran cerradas. Members of The Shrine Church of St. Ann, the patron saint of mothers and women in labor, said goodbye to a nearly 90-year tradition, wherein parishioners participated in a procession through the streets of Norwood. They followed the statue of St. Ann, which was led to its new home at the Church of St. Brendan on East 207 th Street. It s a very sad day, especially to see the St. Ann statue being removed from the church, said Albert Rodríguez, a parish member for the past decade. It s very sad not having a church right where I live. The Shrine Church of St. Ann was founded in In November 2014, the Archdiocese of New York announced St. Ann s would be merged with St. Brendan s as part of a consolidation plan. Though there are a reported 2.8 million Catholics in New York, the Archdiocese says attendance has fallen to 12 percent, with only 346,000 parishioners regularly attending Sunday Mass, making it difficult for some of the parishes to cover costs. The Archdiocese said it spends $30 to $40 million a year in subsidies to churches that cannot cover their debts. Despite the air of sorrow, many present chose to focus on the future. St. Ann, the patron saint of mothers, in her new post at the Church of St. Brendan. Atanas Litchev has attended St. Brendan s for two decades. I m glad that the merger will be [here], he said. It s a bigger and very active church. I would like to keep both, but obviously at this point, it can t happen. --David Greene Los miembros de la Iglesia Santuario de Santa Ana, patrona de las madres y las mujeres en trabajo de parto, se despidieron de una tradición de casi 90 años en la que los feligreses participaron en una procesión por las calles de Norwood. Siguieron a la estatua de Santa Ana, que fue dirigida a su nuevo hogar en la iglesia de St. Brendan en la calle 207 este. Es un día muy triste, sobre todo por ver que la estatua de Santa Ana será retirada de la iglesia, dijo Albert Rodríguez, miembro de la parroquia durante la última década. Es muy triste no tener una iglesia justo donde vivo. La Iglesia Santuario de Santa Ana fue fundada en En noviembre de 2014, la Arquidiócesis de Nueva York anunció que se fusionaría con la de Santa Ana, como parte del plan de consolidación de St. Brendan. Aunque se reportan 2.8 millones de católicos en Nueva York, la Arquidiócesis dice que la asistencia ha caído al 12 por ciento, con sólo 346 mil feligreses asistiendo regularmente a la misa del domingo, por lo que es difícil para algunas de las parroquias cubrir los gastos. La Iglesia Santuario de Santa Ana fue fundada en 1927 y ahora será fusionada. Santa Ana, patrona de las madres, en su nuevo puesto en la Iglesia de St. Brendan. La Arquidiócesis dijo que gasta entre $30 y $40 millones de dólares al año en subsidios a las iglesias que no pueden cubrir sus deudas. A pesar del aire de tristeza, muchos de los presentes optaron por centrarse en el futuro. Atanas Litchev ha asistido a St. Brendan durante dos décadas. Me alegro de que la fusión sea aquí, dijo. Es una iglesia más grande y muy activa. Me gustaría mantener ambas, pero obviamente, en este punto, no puede suceder. --David Greene HELP IS AVAILABLE. CALL TODAY!

12 Sweet spot no more Story and photos by Mónica Barnkow As she rides her bicycle to work, Jane Bedell passes the time by keeping count of the available healthy food choices along the way. We can lead the nation, said Health Assistant Commissioner Jane Bedell. It s a short tally. The exercise is as much a diversion as it is a reminder for the city s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) Assistant Commissioner, who finds too few viable options during her travels. Considering that Bedell works in what has been rated the unhealthiest county in the state, and which has some of the highest obesity rates, the finding might seem of little surprise. When healthful food options are scarce or nonexistent, unhealthy habits prevail, explained Bedell. But her route now has a few new spots she can add to the mix. The Union Community Health Center (UCHC) has declared all its sites and offices free of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). The initiative is intended to raise awareness among all members of the UCHC community including its patients on the importance of making small steps to increase wellness and focusing on more healthful choices. It also means that UCHC staff is leading by example. This past July 15th, physicians, administrators and staff signed pledges to eliminate SSBs from the workplace across all of UCHC s sites. They were joined by Senator Gustavo Rivera and Assemblymember Victor Pichardo, who took part in the signing ceremony. We have to make sure our children grow up in a healthier environment, said Pichardo. The journey of 1,000 miles always begins with a single step. It is very important to make the connection between obesity and other outcomes, added Bedell, in reference to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Bedell said the goal was to curb if not altogether eliminate the intake of sugary drinks, as these account for the largest number of what are considered empty calories consumed. These calories don t register in your metabolism, noted Bedell, adding that it was not uncommon to feel hungry even after drinking a large sugary drink. UCHC is the first community health center in New York State to introduce SSB-Free Zones. The SSB Free Zone initiative takes what UCHC doctors are doing a step further with role modeling action, said CEO Douglas York. If we want our patients to be receptive to our recommendations, we must first show them through our own behavior. A chief architect of the initiative was UCHC pediatrician Vanessa Salcedo, who See SWEET p22 Mostrando por ejemplo. Historia y fotos por Mónica Barnkow Mientras va en su bicicleta hacia el trabajo, Jane Bedell pasa el tiempo contando las opciones de alimentos saludables en el camino. Es un corto recuento. El ejercicio es tanto una distracción como un recordatorio para la comisionada adjunta del Departamento de Salud e Higiene Mental de la ciudad (DOHMH por sus siglas en inglés), quien dice que encuentra muy pocas opciones viables durante sus viajes. 12 Detenido lo dulce Considerando que Bedell trabaja en el que ha sido calificado como el condado menos saludable en el estado de Nueva York y con las mayores tasas de obesidad, el hallazgo podría parecer poco sorprendente. Cuando las opciones de alimentos saludables son escasas o inexistentes, los hábitos no saludables prevalecen, explicó Bedell. Pero su ruta ahora tiene algunos puntos nuevos que se pueden agregar a la mezcla.

16 A nice pitch Proud City College of New York (CCNY) alumna Linda Kaplan Thaler has created advertising recognized in virtually every household across the country. From major campaigns for Wendy s, Toys R Us, and Clairol, to the tremendously popular Aflac duck, Kaplan Thaler s ad agency has played a key role in establishing name recognition for some of the world s largest companies, and with her co-founder, Robin Koval, built one of the fastest growing ad agencies in the country. But ask her to talk about her success, she s likely to deflect the question. Instead, she ll tell you that she s just a girl from the Bronx who made it to City College and worked hard. But those who know and have worked with her would tell you that s not the half of it. Certainly, she did work hard, at CCNY and beyond. As a member of CCNY s class of 1972, she graduated with a psychology degree before advancing to earn an MA in music. But she s also built an impressive professional career through positive messaging in marketing and branding and she is recognized readily as one of the nicest people in her industry. In a business that thrives on the next big idea, the old virtue of being nice has been a cornerstone of Kaplan Thaler s approach to her professional life, and is something she strives to bring to every aspect of her work. Indeed, her New York Times bestselling book, The Power of Nice, extolls this virtue as a sound business practice. As a current member of the Colin Powell School s Board of Visitors, and founding member of the former Colin Powell Center s Advisory Council, Kaplan City College of New York (CCNY) alumna Linda Kaplan Thaler is returning to campus. Thaler has been a dedicated peer and staunch advocate for the school and its students. Now Kaplan Thaler, along with co-author Robin Koval, has completed a new book, Grit to Great: How Perseverance, Passion and Pluck Take You from Ordinary to Extraordinary. The book debunks the notions that one needs a genius IQ, virtuoso talent, or extraordinary wealth in order to be successful. Rather, Kaplan Thaler and Koval contend that the vast majority of successful people don t possess some it factor; rather they display what they call the GRIT factor : guts, resilience, initiative, and tenacity. The underlying message in Grit to Great underscores the Colin Powell School s mission and the legacy of the City College of New York, where for decades, students from all over the world including those that face unique challenges, like those who are first in their family to attend college, working parents, or new Americans have been depending on just those qualities to serve them in their journeys. In her leadership roles at the Colin Powell School, Kaplan Thaler has persistently sought to remind her peers that one of the school s board s truest missions is to help create an environment in which faculty and staff can prepare each of its students for success as measured by the students dedication and passion in pursuit of a better future for themselves and for others. Linda Kaplan Thaler will return to campus this fall for a Conversations with Leaders event hosted by the Colin Powell School. A formal date and time will be forthcoming. For more, please visit or call La Escuela Colin Powell fue establecida en Exito a lo amable Linda Kaplan Thaler, ex alumna del City College de Nueva York (CCNY por sus siglas en inglés), ha creado publicidad reconocida en prácticamente todos los hogares del país. Desde importantes campañas de Wendy s, Toys R Us y Clairol, hasta las tremendamente populares como el pato de Aflac, la agencia de publicidad Kaplan Thaler ha jugado un papel clave en establecer el conocido reconocimiento de algunas de las compañías más grandes del mundo, y con su cofundadora, Robin Koval, construyó una de las agencias de publicidad de más rápido crecimiento del país. Si usted le pide hablar sobre su éxito, ella probablemente desviará la pregunta, diciendo que es sólo una chica del Bronx, que llegó al City College y trabajó duro. Los que la conocen y han trabajado con ella le dirán que no es la mitad de eso. En efecto, ella trabajó duro, en CCNY y en otros lugares. Como miembro de la clase de 1972 de CCNY, se graduó con una licenciatura en psicología antes de avanzar para obtener una maestría en música. Pero también ha construido una asombrosa carrera profesional a través de mensajes positivos en mercadeo y la construcción de marcas. También es fácilmente reconocida como una de las mejores personas que jamás se hayan conocido. En un negocio que vive de la próxima gran idea, la antigua virtud de ser agradable ha sido la piedra angular del enfoque de Kaplan Thaler en su vida profesional, y es algo que aporta a todos los aspectos de su trabajo. De hecho, su exitoso libro, de acuerdo con el New York Times, The Power of Nice, elogia esta virtud como una práctica empresarial. Como miembro actual de la Junta de Visitantes de la Escuela Colin Powell (y miembro fundador del Consejo Consultivo del antiguo Centro Colin Powell) Kaplan Thaler ha sido una compañera dedicada y fiel defensora de la escuela y sus estudiantes. Ahora ella, junto con la coautora Robin Koval, completaron el nuevo libro, Grit to Great: How Perseverance, Passion and Pluck Take You from Ordinary to Extraordinary. El libro desacredita la idea de que se necesita un IQ genial, un talento virtuoso o una extraordinaria riqueza para poder tener éxito. Más bien, Kaplan Thaler y Koval sostienen que la gran mayoría de las personas exitosas no poseen ninguno de esos factores, sino que muestran lo que ellos llaman el factor GRIT (por sus siglas en inglés) : agallas, resistencia, iniciativa y tenacidad. El mensaje subyacente en Grit to Great subraya la misión de la Escuela Colin Powell y el legado del City College de Nueva York, Palabras sabias de Thaler. Una de sus creaciones. donde desde hace décadas, diligentes estudiantes de todo el mundo, incluyendo a los que se enfrentan a desafíos únicos -como aquellos que son los primeros en su familia en asistir a la universidad, los padres trabajadores o los nuevos americanos- han estado dependiendo de sólo esas cualidades para acompañarles en sus travesías. Para la Escuela Colin Powell, Kaplan Thaler ha sido una de las voces más importantes en lo que hace una diferencia para sus estudiantes: formar parte de una escuela que toma en serio sus ideas y su potencial. Ella persistentemente insta que una de las más importantes misiones de la junta es ayudar a crear un ambiente en el que los estudiantes estén preparados para el éxito, un éxito medido por la dedicación y pasión que ellos muestran en la búsqueda de un futuro mejor para sí mismos y para otros en todo el mundo. Daremos la bienvenida en el campus a Linda Kaplan Thaler este otoño para el evento Conversaciones con líderes, organizado por la Escuela Colin Powell. Anunciaremos oficialmente la fecha y el lugar del evento a principios de septiembre. Para más información, favor visite ly/1gyfhmo o llame
